STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
As set out in the City Charter, the Council must designate a newspaper of "general
circulation" as the official publication for all required notices. The City of Round
Rock and the Round Rock Leader have enjoyed a very professional relationship.
The Leader staff has always worked very closely with City staff to ensure that all
notices, ordinances, etc. have been published in a timely and proper manner. Staff
recommends that the Council enter into an agreement designating the Round Rock
Leader as the official publication for the period of June 1, 1995 through June 1, 1996.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
The rates remain the same as last year at .20 cents per word for the first insertion and
.20 cents for repeat insertions. The rate for maps /drawings will increase from $5.80
per column inch to $6.15 per column inch.
